    Even the CIA agrees with the above stat.

    so I've watched your pattern of responses... and its to basically dodge all questions, and turn them into anti united states propaganda...

    here is a fact for you... there are almost 2 MILLION Cuban refugees in America today, thats almost 15% of Cuba's entire population... so 15% of Cuban citizens have risked DEATH to escape the country and flee to America... that is a SIGNIFICANT number...

    and that number was not just a single mass exodus... its a constant stream of people, before all the "problems" you suggest, and even during this time of "great" achievements in socialism... yet people are STILL trying to flee the country... so let's dig into the political prisoners...

    https://www.hrw.org/world-report/2015/country-chapters/cuba

    and you want to argue about 100 political prisoners in america? when in an 8 month period, Cuba, with a population under 12 million, locked up over 7000 people... IN JUST EIGHT MONTHS... seriously? you want to start comparing apples to apples? explain that one...

    Meh, you lose credibility by including the Havana Times....that is like expecting North Korea to be honest about itself as a nation. Got any credible sources?

    There's an old saying about the American CIA, you only hear about their failures and never about their successes.

    You know, it's the other way around with the Navy SEAL's, you only hear about their successes and never about their failures.

    Do you think there's any truth that communist regimes have murdered over 100 million of their own people ? That doesn't include soldiers in war or civilians caught in the crossfires of wars. We are talking about murder.

    How many did Senor / Comrade Castro murder ? The low PC number is 73,000, the high number is 141,000. -> https://www.hawaii.edu/powerkills/COM.TAB1.GIF

    I hope Cuba overtakes Hawaii as a top shelf holiday destination. Surf, sun and beautiful women.

    Jesus, what a joke of a website.

    Not just 100 political prisoners, way more if you consider america's history and the repression of leftism. Where do you get your number? Do you honestly think american media will be honest about cuba? It's their mission to demonize them.

    heh if this isn't the classic "you must accept all my data, but I reject all your data, because it might be true"...

    I cited where I got the data from... the human rights watch... which has historically had fairly accurate data... just because you don't like it, doesn't mean its not true...

    P.S. way to ignore the fact 2 million cubans, roughly 15% of their population, have FLED cuba to get to america... if life was so great why would 15% of the people risk death to escape it?

    Yes Cuba that bastion of freedom

    Cuba arrests 90 dissidents at protest march

    Havana (AFP) - With tense bilateral ties recently renewed after five decades, and top US diplomat John Kerry due in Havana in days, Cuba arrested some 90 activists on Sunday.

    Cuban security forces rounded up marchers -- about 50 with the Ladies in White dissident group and around 40 other activists, some wearing masks with the image of US President Barack Obama, according to an AFP reporter.

    One protester slammed Obama, and said the December announcement to normalize relations between the former Cold war foes had bolstered Havana's crackdown on dissidents.

    "It's his fault, what is happening," said former political prisoner Angel Moya, speaking about Obama.

    "The Cuban government has grown even bolder," he added before being detained.


    "That's why we have this mask on. Because it's his fault," said Moya, husband of Ladies in White leader Berta Soler.
